For Parents-Visitor visa or Tourist visa !!!!!!!

[canada19842014]

Friends,

I need your urgent help.

I am having permanent residence of Canada. I am in India right now and want to take my parents with me to Canada. I am having two options-Visitor or tourist visa.

I want to go with visitor visa but the problem is that it requires invitation from someone in Canada.
My question is since I am PR of Canada and is it possible for me to give a invitation to my parents being in India
and showing my PR card as proof of my Canadian status. Will the embassy consider it ??

Please friends do share your thoughts, I need your guidance on this.

You actually only have one option - TRV. A visitor and tourist visa is the same thing.

Certainly it is possible. Just compose a letter and accompany your parents to a visa application centre to submit their forms, payment with supporting documents including your invitation letter.

And what option do i have as I have applied for Permanent Residency already and have 3 years of work permit in Canada. I live in Saskatchewan. Shall I apply for TRV for my parents or wait for getting eligible to apply for Super Visa?

Thanks a lot for reply Scylla and Steaky !!

Can you please help me further?

Can the invitation letter has to be on a simple paper-I mean to say whether that has to notarized? And what should I write in it? I am sorry for being too general on this, but I do not want to take any chance.

Can you provide me with some inputs as to what to be included in it or a sample invitation letter ?

Looking forward for your reply

Hello Friends,

I am in a similar situation. I have received CoPR, and planning to move to Canada in April. I want to apply for TRV for my Parents before moving there, so that they would accompany me to Canada.

But being in India currently, can I give the invitation letter for my parents? Also, as a proof of my status will CoPR be enough?
As on the official site, they are asking for PR card or proof of landing :-|

Please suggest if there is any other way to apply for TRV for my parents.

Your status isn’t actually relevant in their TRV application. You can provide your COPR or a letter as a supplementary document, but it’s still their profile and assets that will be assessed.

Your parents can attempt to get a TRV before you land in Canada but Canada tries to prevent parents from arriving with their children on PR because some families try to move with their parents which is not allowed. They can visit temporarily but usually after their children are established in Canada.
